An AI chatbot can answer common questions, qualify leads and reduce repetitive support work on a client’s website. Done badly, it frustrates visitors and damages trust. Done well, it becomes a useful, always-on assistant.
What should the chatbot actually do?
Start with a narrow job: answer questions about services and pricing, book appointments, capture enquiries or route people to the right team. A focused bot beats a general one that tries to do everything.
How does it work?
A chatbot connects to a language model and, importantly, to the client’s own content such as service pages, FAQs and policies. Retrieving relevant content before answering keeps responses accurate and on-brand, rather than letting the model improvise.
What does a safe setup include?
- Clear boundaries: The bot should say when it does not know and hand over to a human.
- Approved content only: Answers should come from material the client has reviewed.
- Privacy: Be transparent about data collection and follow the relevant rules, such as GDPR for European visitors.
- Disclosure: Make it clear visitors are talking to an AI.
- Monitoring: Review conversations regularly and improve answers.
What does it cost?
There are setup costs for integration and content preparation, plus usage costs from the model provider. Ready-made widgets are cheaper to start, while custom builds offer more control. Choose based on the client’s volume and sensitivity.
How do you measure success?
Track resolved questions, leads captured, handover rate and visitor satisfaction. If the bot is not saving time or generating enquiries, adjust its scope.
The takeaway
A chatbot should help visitors, not hide the team. We can add one to any client site. See how it fits alongside our services.
